Record 1 2011-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

Nine innings being the number of innings in a regulation game, any full inning played beyond that number to break a tie.

OBS

The term "overtime", normally restricted to extra periods of play in timed contests as in hockey or soccer, is sometimes extended to include extra inning(s) in baseball.

OBS

extra innings: The plural form is currently used since the number of possible extra innings is unlimited.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball
DEF

Toute manche rajoutée lorsque la marque est à égalité après les 9 manches réglementaires d'une partie de baseball.

OBS

Au baseball, une partie ne peut jamais être nulle; d'où la nécessité de rajouter souvent plus d'une manche supplémentaire. Dans l'usage anglais, le pluriel vaut pour le singulier; en français, le singulier vaut pour le pluriel.

OBS

Le terme «prolongation», habituellement associé au temps supplémentaire dans les sports chronométrés comme le hockey et le soccer, s'entend parfois de(s) manche(s) supplémentaire(s) à jouer au baseball pour déterminer l'équipe gagnante.
